so there you go.

and if you have any questions, its pretty much all shaina and i have been able to talk about so please ask one of us :)

and to tie in the title of today's post i'll hafta give a short background story.

so we were at the mall.. errr.. shopping center, and this guy was handing out popoutandfoldtogether paper torches. we couldn't resist. so uzzi, shaina, rahul, and i each grabbed one and proceeded to create our own torches. uzzi finished first, and proudly waved his in the air yelling "i did it!" and grabbing the attention of everyone around us ( i mean, the ones that weren't already staring at us for sitting in the rotating lounger). yeah. and then for some odd reason the rest of us decided to do the same when we finished creating ours. and we've been quoting uzzi ever since.

but yeah. as i thought about everything that happened on our crazy london trip, i felt like the best way to sum the whole thing up was simply to say

GOD DID IT! :)
